摘要:

The paper examines critically the contention that electronic communications will contribute to reducing travel through trip-substitution. Using examples drawn from a variety of forms of work organisation being affected by new technologies, collectively referred to as “teleworking”, it attempts to demonstrate the complexity of the relationship between travel and electronic communication. The forms of teleworking consideied here are: electronic homeworking; mobile working; spatially-dispersed teamworking; and telephone call-centres. The paper concludes that the trip-substitution assumption is unrealistic, with a range of markedly different travel outcomes identified. Further, it contends that the empirical basis for formulating policies in this field is currently inadequate.

摘要:

In this paper, emerging technologies and applications are identified that could be used to present travellers with higher quality information about public transport services. The concept of real-time information is introduced and the means of delivering such information are compared to the methods that can be used for disseminating trip planning information.

摘要:

The use of an electronic smart card as an alternative means for users to access and pay for transport services is now emerging as a viable option for many operators. In the past, the use of smart cards has been promoted by their proponents primarily as a mechanism for payment. However, in reality, the smart card has the capability and flexibility to offer much more to the field of ITS (Intelligent Transport Systems). This paper elaborates on the above statement, with examples of both current and future uses of the smart card, which extend beyond being just a payment medium.

摘要:

How does the emergence of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) in an ever-increasing variety of ways enhance or reconcile the differences between social cost benefit analysis (SCBA) and a business case in evaluation? Investigation of this suggests that ITS impacts in two, substantially different, ways. First, the presence of ITS can affect the evaluation per se and, secondly, the type of ITS application proposed can affect how projects involving ITS are evaluated (i.e., whether the evaluation should be a business case or SCBA). Each of these issues are addressed in turn in this paper. The arguments are illustrated using the example of real-time passenger information at bus stops.

摘要:

Launched in 1997, the Urban Traffic Management and Control (UTMC) research programme is the UK DETR's main initiative for the development of a more open approach to intelligent transport systems (ITS) in urban areas. This five-year programme supports the research and development of open standards and new applications for urban traffic management with the aim of seeing the market develop for the supply and use of UTMC systems.
